Which side of the plane to sit from Capitan Corbeta CA Curbelo International Airport (Punta del Este) to Islas Malvinas Airport (Rosario)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of the vast Río de la Plata estuary, distant views of the Montevideo skyline, and a more dramatic perspective of the Paraná Delta wetlands upon approach to Rosario.
Laguna del Sauce
Immediate views of the large coastal lagoon adjacent to the airport and the rugged coastline of Piriápolis.
Montevideo Skyline
On clear days, the capital of Uruguay and its iconic 'Cerro' can be seen across the river's silver-brown waters.
Río de la Plata Estuary
Witness the immense scale of the world's widest river as it transitions from the blue Atlantic to silty brown.
Paraná Delta South
An intricate labyrinth of islands, channels, and lush vegetation where the Paraná River meets the estuary.
Port of Rosario
Large grain elevators and industrial shipping infrastructure as the plane descends over the Paraná River.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the distant lights of Buenos Aires if flying at dusk. The contrast between the river and the delta is most striking during midday when the sun reflects off the water channels. Watch for the 'Ensenada' area south of the flight path.
Casapueblo
The famous white 'living sculpture' hotel/museum by Carlos Páez Vilaró on the cliffs of Punta Ballena.
Sierra de las Ánimas
The rolling hills and modest peaks of inland Uruguay providing a contrast to the flat coastal plains.
Entre Ríos Pampas
A patchwork of productive agricultural fields and wetlands characterizing the Argentine countryside.
Rosario-Victoria Bridge
A massive cable-stayed bridge spanning the Paraná River, visible just north of the city during the final descent.
The right side is excellent for early morning flights to avoid the direct southern glare. Keep your eyes peeled immediately after takeoff to spot the unique architecture of Casapueblo. During the descent, the bridge connecting Rosario to Victoria is a major landmark to the North.
